Data on Education Hackathon
The Hackathon Data on Education was organized by the observatory Argentinians for Education (Span. Argentinos por la Educación) and had two editions, one in 2020 and a second one in 2021. In the events, citizens were invited to think of solutions for the education sector based on data science. Thereby, the projects are intended to use existing data for decision making. The winning project in 2020, selected by a jury of leaders in the field of education, measures the levels of grade repetition and over-age in both primary and secondary schools and analyzes how this relates to current public policies.
